al incidents," she said. "I don't get
specific and nothing is vicious.
Everything is with humor."
Ms. Carpenter is hoping to find
a publisher. But first she wants
to hire an editor to fine-tune the
book, putting periods and commas
in the right spots. As for a title,
she is still working on it but is
leaning toward calling it House to
House.
The book's intended audience:
other housemothers and parents.
"Anyone that reads it, I think
will enjoy it," Ms. Carpenter said
"It's kind of an inside guide into
college and sorority living. I'm hop-
ing parents will see humor in
what happens when you get 30-
40 different types of girls togeth-
er.
"In a sorority, you usually get
a combination of those who have
come to college to work, some
who want to find husbands and
those who are not sure why they
are there. Blend these into one
house and it's all the stuff that
can happen when these girls go
through the transition of being
in college." El

door, the police arrested them.
"This is what my book is —
these little things that have hap-
pened during my years as a
housemother," she said. "I put oth-
er housemothers' experiences in
the book, too. I don't address
drinking problems, drugs or any-
thing heavy. I deal more with the
lighthearted issues like teaching
the girls how to fill ice-cube trays."
Another chapter is all about ,
bugs scares. Ms. Carpenter writes
about a couple of occasions when
women in the house thought they
had lice or mites. One student cre-
ated mass hysteria about a mite
contamination, but it turned out
she was only having an allergic
reaction to penicillin.
Another sorority member
thought she had lice and that the
whole house was infected. She cre-
ated an uproar until it was deter-
mined that her itching was an
allergy to hair dye.
Every example and situation

onfused by the burst of po-
litical activity among the
field of would-be presiden-
tial nominees?
All the media coverage?
A new poll every day?
All the hype?
Welcome to the winter before a
presidential election.
With just under nine months
until the national elections, the
political machine used by the
United States to select a president
has shifted into high gear.
Already voters in several states,
including New Hampshire and
Iowa, have indicated their choice
for the Republican nominee. They
will be joined on March 19 by
Michigan voters in a statewide Re-
publican primary.
Those electing to participate in
the state's Democratic caucus can
do so on March 16 by going to
their respective caucus site. Cau-
cus locations are different than
normal precincts sites (for loca-
tions, call the Oakland County De-
mocratic Party at (810) 334-0971).
The only candidate whose
name will appear on the caucus
ballot is Bill Clinton. Because the
president faces no Democratic op-
position, he automatically gains
the nomination, making the cau-
cus a formality.
This season of primaries and
caucuses has left many, including
some of the most partisan, with
confusion about how the presi-
dential primary season actually
operates.
For starters, the main purpose
of this year's election-before-the-
election is to select a Republican
nominee for president.
Republican state primaries and
caucuses will dictate which can-
didates receive Republican na-
tional convention delegates.
In Michigan, presidential can-
didates getting over 15 percent of
the vote on March 19 will receive
delegates based upon their pro-
portion of the vote. Fifty-seven of
the 1,990 Republican national
convention delegates come from
Michigan.
